Hi All,

Am currently holding a working visa (Stamp 4), and about to renew it next month;

Now am wondering whether to continue my working visa (valid for 2yrs), or change to residence on basis of child (same stamp 4, but valid for 3yrs)?


Anyone with any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Hi, Possibly by registered letter? I'm only saying this because I was asked for a copy of my spouses passport (at my convenience) and received a response on the Monday (by letter) noting the receipt of this. All the best with this. It's really bad that I applied after you and have had my applicatio...

Hi,

As haven't received anything after more than 1month, after sending Form 8.

Also their hotline No: 1890 252 854 is always busy...


Wonder are any other efficient means to contact them?!

- Just want to make sure my application in their count.


Thanks.

Hi, I would have applied a bit after you (a couple of days), and I received a confirmation letter from them nearly 3 weeks ago saying my application had been accepted into the queue (form 8). They aim to respond to people within a week regarding whether they have passed the initial processing stage...

Hi all,

INIS received my Form 8 application on 18/02/2011 (sent by registered mail)

But I haven't hear anything from them since then.

Wonder when should I expect to receive the Reference number?


Any comments are welcome.


Thanks!

Actually, if you have Stamp 4, then you don't require permission for holding multiple jobs simultaneously. You could even employ yourself as a contractor etc.. The only thing you should ensure is that the tax implications are worth it. ie being taxed at the higher rate of 42%, etc.. Hi Southern_Sky...

Hi All,

Am a working visa holder (ICT professional - Stamp 4), working in an IT company at the moment.

And am wondering if its okay for me to have a second (part-time) job in Non-IT sector?

Thanks.

9jeirean, I agree, skilled immigrants is a big entrepreneurial force in Ireland, potentially at least. However, I don't see any conspiracy going around the right of WV holders to start their own businesses. Let's see what we know and think logically: (1) anyone can be a shareholder of an Irish comp...

1. Where does this caveat come from?

2. If just 'a EEA resident' will do, then WV holders should be automatically qualified for this condition, as WV holders who working here, are residents of Ireland.

I was in a similar position, wrote an email to INIS and got a positive response, i.e. that I do have the right to register a new business in Ireland..... Thanks Heinlein, the first two lines answered my question more than enough :P As long as INIS confirms WV holder's right for setup a business, th...

A working visa (Stamp 4) holder have been working in Ireland for yrs.. Does he need a business permission to setup a business? P.S. According to INIS website, working visa holders don't qualify for exemption of business permission (http://www.inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/WP09000012); however, the GNIB ...

Congratulations!

Well done !!

Hi Lads, Has anyone get the latest outcome or inside story about it? The answer I got back from our embassy was that they requested to the Irish government on this issue, but no reply yet.

Hi All, Don't want to waste time to complain how stupid the lawmakers are. However, this change does affect me soooo...seriously...

Hi All,
